2021 Map of Woonsocket

About this map

Woonsocket serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the Sanborn County Courthouse stands as a prominent local landmark. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed for agricultural stability, featuring several significant artificial waterways such as County Ditch Number 8, County Ditch Number 16, and County Ditch Number 21. These channels coordinate with natural features like McCoy Lake and the intermittent Dry Run to drain the low-lying fields. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several important burial sites, including Saint Wilfrid Cem and Eventide Cem situated near the town center, as well as the more remote Feistner Cem located further south. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road grid that crosses the Jerauld Co Sanborn Co border, reflecting the area's continued reliance on a structured rural infrastructure.
